1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The Japanese Breast Cancer Society initiated the breast cancer registry in 1975 and migrated the registry to the National Clinical Database-Breast Cancer Registry (NCD-BCR) in 2012. This annual report presents 2021 data on the NCD-BCR. We analyzed data from 98,540 breast cancer (BC) cases registered in 2021. In 2021, 99.4% of BC cases were females with a median age of 61. Most (57.5%) were diagnosed at early stages (Stage 0 or I). Breast-conserving surgery was performed in 42.8% of cases. Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed in 67.8%, followed by radiotherapy in 71.0% of those post-conserving surgery. Regarding postoperative systemic therapy, 63.1% received endocrine therapy, 28.2% received chemotherapy, and 14.9% received molecular-targeted therapy. ER positivity was observed in 75.2%, HER2 in 13.6%, and Ki67 ≥30% in 29.1% of cases. The median age of premenopausal cases was 46 (interquartile range, 42-49) years and the median BMI was 21.5 (19.7-24.2) kg/m
